1/3 Before Obamacare came along, I did not have insurance for 10 years.
It made health care available to me RIGHT when I was declared diabetic, in part due to depression and lots of sugar after my parents both died.
2/3 I rely on it. I am taking nearly a dozen medications that keep me healthy and make me functional. Without it, I wouldn't have gotten treatment for my severe gastritis after I had an emergency tooth extraction, which is still healing; I see another doctor Friday.
3/3 Multiply me by millions. Millions only able to get by, to survive, because Obamacare guaranteed we could get coverage.
That is what Trump wants to take away... during a once in a century pandemic.
1/9 Make no mistake: these barbaric actions are a part of Trump's America.
Before leaving office, Trump's DHS cronies cut special deals with multiple states, including Texas, to continue their abhorrent anti-immigration policies.
2/9 Trump's DHS, 12 days before President Biden was sworn in, struck a “binding” deal with Texas agreeing to consult with the state for 180 days before making changes to immigration policy, effectively tying the hands of the new administration.

First up is a thread on the attack on the US Postal Service, when mail-in ballots became essential during a pandemic. This thread morphed into a general thread about Trumpian claims of voter fraud, and its efforts to change the outcome:
This hub is for threads focused on Trump's grifting, personal finances, and his consistent LIE of being a self-made man when in fact he's lied and cheated every step of the way, starting with the thread that began this section.
I make GIFs, infographics, memes, videos, & maintain large threads fighting the horrors of the Trump regime & the GQP's insurrection; further links in thread.
New threads for a new era. I maintain a number of threads, some re-constituted from my first account. Many of these I store and organize in various hubs.
This is my thread on Trump regime atrocities renewed and better organized into sub-threads:
Trump claimed he loves the military, but like most dictators what he really liked is throwing their weight around & using them to make himself look good.
This series of threads & articles shows how Trump REALLY feels about our military & veterans:
